Great apathy prevails; especially among the Whigs. I have not heard a warm political talk for a Coon'a age. True, I heard an old merchant who ought te be ashamed of himaelf for two things : first, for ijeiog an old bachelor, with plenty of money te eupport a family, and 2nd, for being a hard swearer) blowing out strong yesterday against those wbo nominated the various rickets, now placarded in big letter at all the corners of the streets. " They were all. he said, a pack of scoundrels." Thi condemnation of the nominations, and of thos who make them, is very common with a certain class of grumblers who never attend the ward meetings. If citises will neglect their duty, and star away fnm the primary meetings at which tlw nominations are made, they ought not to say a word against the ticket offered by their party. We do not believe the lies that are-tuld against Kossuth. Some of our papers publish a letter from an oonyJnuuwrjtcr at Marseilles, pur portingto describe an alleged disagreement be- j tween Kossuth and Capt. Ixwg of tho steamship Mississippi: hut the editors expross their belief in its falsehood. Even George Washington had bis traducers in hi"a own country, and why not Kossuth f "The King has a ling arm" The Emperor of Austria's tongue and pen are lunger than his sword or sceptre.

Nov 5, lHol. viince my Iset Communication fi-oia Aslieville I bae been so busily engsged and so constantly tra velling, that I have had scarcely a moment of leis ure t devote to my "Notes." This number will comprise a brief sketch of my journeyings, during the past month something In tho style of uiy fly ing trip. On the 10th ult. I took leave of the "State of Buncombe," with all her magnificent scenery of ri ver and mountain. Tbe road from Asheville to Morganton winds along the banks of tlie beautiful Swannanoa, whose mad, laughing, limpid waters wake "fairy echoes,'" In their swift, gliding course; or gently niirrow in silvery basins, the dark green Inure la nodJvya. clustering, in wild luiuriancebe neath the vine-clad beech trees which overhang the sleeping wave. I crossed the Blue Ridge at the Swaonnnoa Gap, and passed down the rich valley of the Catawba to flarioa. Thaeora cropa.au .the Catawba arc unu: . sually fiae, and will prohably average fen harrdt io the acre. Mtnios, the connty-seat cf McDowell, is a very quiet village--situatcd an a lofty hill. There hss recently been erected, through the enter prise of Col. Joseph Conly, a splendid brick hotel, which is the most interesting building to a stran ger) in the place. j , I next visited Moaosnron, which is now distin guished for having a term of the Supreme Court. The i town is beautifully "laid out, and commands a fine view of the Mountains. Msjor Smith still dispenses, for the refreshment of the.traveller, his bountiful supplies of mountain luxuries ; and I am suxh ba krecd, the . art, ,of making to perfectly at home. Lxxota, the Court House of Caldwell county is 16 miles from Morgunton. The village is situatcdJ near the head of Lower Creek, and a few years ago was scourged with a malignant fever. The place, at this time, appears quite healthy ; but I think the location rather unfortunste. The people of Caldwell seem lo be slive to the importance of im proving their travelling and trading facilities, and are engaged in making roads in every direction through their county. I am sure they will never regret this policy. The Caldwell and Ashe Turn pike Road, which was chartered last Legislature, is almost completed, aud is said to be tho best graded road in t'-e State. It fill attract much of the Tennessee and Kentucky travel. Those who pass this way, will, of course, stop at Time's excel lent Hotel. The Yadkin valley, with all it fertility and beau ty, winds across the northern portion of this conn, ty. Imagine a small, limpid stream clear as crys tal darting and leaping bvif tts bed ST pebbles. On either side, iu fertile meadows, groaning under a luxuriant harvest, are extended into broad, level acres, and bordered with mountains clad in ail the rich vari-tintcd hue of autumn. Then picture is your mind a thrifty farm-liouse or a stately man sion, rising at the foot of the mountains, at every turn of your meandering road, and you have some tolerable idea of the appearance of this lovely re gion. Every one, who visits this section, is struck with tbe peculiar adaptation .of the country for the growth of sheep, ana also at the uusurpansed and unlimited wator-pewer which the rivers and creeks and even oraacAss afford for manufacturing purpo ses. 1 am truly glad to know that these aJvauta ges are beginning to be appreciated and Improved by aome of the eitisena of tlie valley, Messrs. Ilsrpcr, Jones and Patterson, hav just erected a factory, a few miles above Fort Defiance, to be" called Patthrsos, (after Oen. S. F. Patterson,) which already give employment to 25 operative. The Factory is a three story brick building 78 by tA, aad is loeaed in te-of the most romantic spots along the river. They now run 63A spindles, ..aadiatesjd, . .lC,jT,,.ni M tf&fatW -Jhej, hope, te extend their operations. Their wool-carding machines are of tbe most improved pattern. and coat sum J 1 ,000 ; and the whole amount of capital aa yet invested ia about $20,000. Success, I say, abandant aucees-ts the eutrrprtje i From Caldwell I again "crossed the Blue Ridge, and visited Ashe and Watauga.

Tonr old friend. Col. Jonathan Horton, wbo Urea seaie three miles from" the village, shewed me a hcv kind of grass, which he regards very highly for bay-making, iu the dead of winter his cattle pre fer it to fimoi.ty. He calls it fniiltr-ijr in from its reaariniMj truad leaf. I will bring jou a fcundie of the seed when I return. Jsrraasoa, is a rusty looking old plixf, but its scenery is ansurpaesed. WiLKxeaoao', on thia side of the Eidge is another ancient looking village, but it is surrounded, by a1 wealthy section of country. 1 could but notice in my rambling amongxt the mountain a tamentHole neglect of the rising gctier- stion.
